Sasha Arano
Brigadier Sasha Ortega Arano (a.k.a. "Redbird")
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree"
In the case of Sasha Arano, eldest daughter of Shurik and Cassandra, the apple started growing a new tree right off the tree. Headstrong, brusque, and as unafraid to speak her mind as she is to get her own hands dirty, to say she takes after her parents would be the understatement of the century. For over a decade she has served the Riesenjager Mercenary Company as their Armored Forces commander, often from the open hatch of a tank in combat.
Since the inception of Renegade Company she has (somewhat reluctantly) taken up the duties of commanding the adhoc force, passing the title of Chaos 1 down to her son Salvador Arano.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Like most tankers, Sasha is extremely fit and athletic. She inherited the olive skin, black hair and green eyes that are characteristics of House Arano, lending her a striking appearance when combined with her muscular build and height.
This is offset, somewhat, by the nearly perpetual look of irritation on her face and the callused knuckles of someone who is used to having to resort to cruder means of communication when "no" isn't enough of an answer.
Apparel & Accessories
Sasha eschews formal or expensive clothing, even in scenarios where such items might be called for. She prefers to wear the RJMC's standard-issue tanker fatigues, albeit with the rank completely removed.
The only item of clothing Sasha seems to genuinely care for is her father's Royal Guard dress jacket; a high-collared red and white coat, with gold piping along the sleeves and edges. She is almost never seen without it, even in combat, and takes meticulous effort to keep it in as good condition as can be expected.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born during Jumpship transit on the outskirts of the Aurigan Reach, Sasha's childhood and education was with the other children in the Riesenjagers, learning everything there was to know about the day-to-day operations of a mercenary company. She took to it like a fish to water, following in her parents' footsteps within the company's armored regiments and cutting her teeth in contracts with the 2nd Jagers. She also took a lead role, alongside her parents and Chief Mechanic Charlie Burke, in designing both the Scylla MkI Heavy Tank and Charybdis MkI Assault Tank for the Essex system's industrial sector, having the honor of driving the first Charybdis off the production line in the mid-3040s.
Sasha did not participate in the Battle of Tukkayid, having elected to remain behind to take her father's position within the 1st Jagers as Chaos Actual. It would not be an experience she would repeat after news of Shurik and Jonas' deaths returned to Naumkeag; and when the SLDF called for volunteers for Operation Bird Dog and Operation Bulldog she was among the first to step forward, leading the Riesenjager's armored detachment alongside Mai Kruger for the duration of the operations.
Sexuality
Extensive and private
Education
Sasha learned her trades at her parents' feet, like most mercenary children in the Periphery.The lack of a formal education has not kept her from becoming one of the most dangerous armored commanders in the sector.

Personality Characteristics
Hygiene
Apart from a near-constant layer of vehicle grease that somehow never manages to get in her hair, Sasha takes an intense interest in mantaining cleanliness.
